Yes, it sounds crazy, but seriously consider it... go look at your car and think of what it would look like with fiberglass in place... it would look the same. It woudl jsut weigh a lot less and have less drag. I've got one on my race car and I'd gladly put it on a street vehicle! Need to work on your engine... take off the whole front!

No, but everything below the lights is pretty 'dirty' and could be smoothed...
